This work's third act opens with the cellos playing a theme that was earlier the counter-melody to the ballad "Jerum! Jerum." That ballad was first sung shortly before a bass role sings ‘Den Tag seh' ich erscheinen," which is a coloratura serenade that parodies bel canto arias. The quintet ‘Selig, wie die Sonne' is presented shortly after one character tells the soprano that he has no desire to play King Mark. One of the bass-baritone roles sings "Wahn! Wahn! Überall Wahn!" when recalling the last night's riot, an even that was followed by the other bass-baritone role, the Nightwatchman, calling out the hour. That riot began when David thought Magdalene was being serenaded by (*) Beckmesser. This work ends when the Morning Dream Song wins Veit Pogner's approbation for the apprentice Walter, who has learned his art from Hans Sachs. For 10 points, name this opera about some German performers, a work of Richard Wagner.
